H. Anderson, TK/ KinderTeaching has been a dream of mine since I was in Kindergarten! I think school is so much fun and my goal is for my students to feel the same way! Outside of school, I am very busy with my family. My husband, Sean, and I have three kids, Sierra, Brandon and Peyton. My favorite thing to do is watch my kids do their activities, from sports to dance to acting in plays. I also love to watch professional sports, especially the Giants!!

I love helping students become better readers. My passion lies in igniting a love for reading that grows out of exposure, competence, and confidence.

By filling learning gaps and sharing my enthusiasm for quality children’s literature through my extensive collection, I aim to inspire and motivate my students to become avid readers for life.
